How to choose the size of the bed for the size of the child's room?
When choosing a bed for a child's room, it is worth starting with a simple question: how much space will be left after placing the furniture, not what size of mattress looks good on paper. In a small room, every centimeter counts in the passage, wardrobe, desk and play area. Therefore, the size of the bed must be assessed together with the height of the room, the arrangement of doors, windows and whether the child needs additional space for study or storage.
In the Nizio offer, you can compare different types of beds: classic Nizio single beds, mezzanine beds, beds with a desk and bunk beds. Each of these types works differently in space. A single bed takes up the floor in the simplest way, a mezzanine reclaims space underneath, and a bunk bed helps when siblings are sleeping in the room.
Start with the full size of the furniture
The most common mistake is to only measure the mattress. The N01 single bed is available in mattress sizes from 80x180 to 120x200 cm, but the external dimensions depend on the selected variant and are larger than the mattress itself. In this model, 8 cm must be added to the length and width of the mattress, so when planning the room layout, you need to leave room for the actual outline of the structure.
The N01 single bed is 76 cm high, legs with a cross-section of 5.7 x 5.7 cm and a frame made of pine slats 2-2.4 cm thick. The recommended mattress thickness is 10-22 cm. This is a good choice when the room is wide enough and a separate desk, chest of drawers or shelf is to be placed next to the bed.
When to choose a single bed?
A classic single bed works well when the child is younger, often sits on the bed during the day or needs easy access to the sleeping place. In a small room, it is worth choosing the size of the mattress so that after placing the bed there is a comfortable passage and space for opening drawers or wardrobe doors. In practice, it is better to choose a slightly narrower variant and maintain a functional layout than to add a very wide bed that will make everyday use of the room difficult.
If the room is intended for a school-age child, the need for a desk quickly arises next to the sleeping area. Then it is worth comparing the single bed with the furniture from the collection Nizio children's beds and with solutions that raise the sleeping place higher.
Mezzanine when there is no floor
A loft bed makes sense when the room is small but has the right height. The N01 wooden mezzanine bed has a standard total height of 195 cm and 142 cm of clearance under the bed. In the higher variant, the ground clearance can be 143-170 cm and the total height can be 196-223 cm. This means that before choosing such furniture, you need to measure not only the floor, but also the height of the room.
In Nizio mezzanine models, the railing is 47 cm high from the frame, and the sleeping capacity is 200 kg. The set also includes a wall mount. This is important data if the bed is to be used for many years and is to serve an older child or teenager. It is worth comparing such solutions in the collection Nizio mezzanine beds.
A bed with a desk in a student's room
If there is not enough space in the room for a separate countertop, this is a practical direction loft bed with desk. In the N01 model with a desk, the top is 73 cm high and 70 cm deep, and its width depends on the selected bed size. Thanks to this, one volume combines the sleeping and study areas, and the floor is not divided between two separate pieces of furniture.
This choice is especially good in a student's room, where the most important things are: a permanent place to study, convenient access to the bed and the possibility of placing an additional shelf or chest of drawers. Before purchasing, it is worth checking whether the child will be able to use the countertop freely and whether the entrance to the mezzanine does not interfere with the door or wardrobe.
Siblings room and bunk bed
When two children sleep in one room, a bunk bed often makes better use of the space than two separate beds. The N01 wooden bunk bed with a mattress drawer is 176 cm high and has a load capacity of 200 kg on each level. The drawer with an additional mattress has a load capacity of 160 kg, and the maximum thickness of the mattress for the drawer is 14 cm.
It's worth taking a look at the collection Nizio bunk bedswhen the room has a small area, but you need to plan two sleeping places. However, it must be remembered that in the case of a bunk bed, not only the outline of the furniture is important, but also a comfortable entrance, space for bedding and free use of the lower level.

First, measure the room and mark the door, window, radiator and permanent elements on the plan. Then choose the minimum width of the passage that you do not want to take away from your child. Then compare the type of bed with the function of the room: single, if simplicity is important; mezzanine if you need to regain the space underneath; a bed with a desk if there is no space to study; bunk, if the room is for siblings.
A well-chosen bed should not be the largest possible piece of furniture. The child should be left with a room where he can sleep comfortably, study, store things and move around without constantly having to avoid the furniture.
